I'd like to get some feedback on what the list thinks is a good template
engine other than smarty.
I'd also like to do some quick prototyping using a PHP framework does anyone
have any recommendations for one that is easy to pick up and run with?
Finally, does anyone have any suggestions for a good PHP database
abstraction library?
You may want to take a look at this post for a few recommendations:

That is a nice sales pitch Manuel but takes bit of digesting.
Jay - This is a 'how long is a piece of string' type question. So there
are as many answers as there are developers here ;)
I've only ever used Smarty - and not seen anything yet to replace it.
PDO is being pushed as a DB Abstraction library, but it only 'abstracts'
the calls to PHP, it does nothing to abstract the SQL if you want a
truly generic solution, if you need one, but if you don't then why
bother with abstraction ;)
I've been running with bitweaver now for some time, and things are
starting to come together. It uses Smarty and ADOdb and can install
itself on a range of database engines without any 'manual intervention'.
So I am happy that it is a generic framework that is easy to run with.
